Cp 6/25, 6/26

Okay, we'll (My 12 year old, at that date, brother, my father, who is not of physical condition to ride the rougher or more aggressive rides, and I) be staying at the Breakers, so we get the extra hour, so those two days our hours are 9-10, but I need to know what to hit in order to get on most of the biggies (Maverick, Mean Streak, Millennium, Magnum, Top Thrill, Raptor, Mantis...) and a fair amount of thrill rides. Our tickets are also good for Soak City, so I'd like to know whether its worth taking time out of coasters and thrill rides.

Another thing is, how bad are lines at this time of the summer? I have not been since about 2001, so I'd like to know what kind of variation I can expect from the 3 hour Millennium waits of yesteryear.

Thanks in advance!

It'll be the longest days of the year. When I was there a late June did it get dark at 9 or 9:30? That's what occurs when you're near a time zone change.

I was there the middle of June last year for the day before Coastermania and Coastermania.

That Thursday the longest wait (excluding Maverick which was still only 45 min) was about 30-45 for Dragster. I don't think I waited an hour for anything either day. A lot of stuff was walkons on that Thursday.

Thanks! This is certainly looking better than a few years back, better so, that we're there on weekdays.

Quick question, how is Cedar Point about glasses, with a strap will I be able to ride with them on? I recall being able to last time, but they gave me a rough time about it at Knott's in September.

Wear suntan lotion that day. It's going to be a very long day. I saw people using a strap for glasses before on TTD.

they will most likely be a pain about your glasses if you dont have a strap on them or dont put them in one of their lockers, or give them to someone who isnt riding. I worked on that ride last year, and if you didnt have a securable cargo pocket, they wouldnt let you ride with the glasses on.

I have a strap I can use. I was just wondering how harsh they are with one. Knott's refused to let me ride Xcelerator with a strap.
